I've been letting you down, down
Girl I know I've been such a fool
Giving into temptation
I should have played it cool
The situation got out of hand
I hope you understand
Chorus
It can happen to anyone of us
Anyone you think of
Anyone can fall
Anyone can hurt someone they love
Hearts will break
Cos I made a stupid mistake
It can happen to anyone of us
Say you will forgive me
Anyone can fail
Say you will believe me
I can't take my heart will break
'Cause I made a stupid mistake
A stupid mistake
She was kind of exciting
A little crazy
I should have known
She must have altered my senses
cos I offered to walk her home
The situation got out of hand
I hope you understand
Chorus
A stupid mistake
She means nothing to me
Nothing to me
I swear every word is true
I don't wanna lose you
The situation got out of control
I hope you understand
